Chicago life is so normal that all of this is happening very close to me and you wouldn't know it if people weren't talking about it. The Feds are the only problem here, and they need to go.

Today, I'm signing legislationย to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

Just reflecting on the military addresses today and I just canโt shake this weird, disturbing thing. Trump wants to be a dictator. We know it, we see it, but he canโt even show up to something like this and be serious or focused. Weโre all endangered by the laziest and most entitled asshole alive.

3 ways you can make noise about the shutdown if you have a GOP Member of Congress. 1) Find where they publicly said Dems want healthcare for illegals [sic] and--in the most aggrieved voice possible--berate them for claiming their constituents who rely on ACA are not real Americans.

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they donโt like socialism.
